ComradeMezhlauk has told me of the great success in your
work during April 1921: 294 poods per hewer compared with 291 poods in
1914. I congratulate our miner comrades on this outstanding success and
send my best greetings. At this rate we shall overcome all difficulties and
electrify the Donbas and Krivoi-Rog district, and that means
everything.

Withcommunist greetings,

V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
